Renew Philippines passport in UK before it has expired

Why renew if only short trips back?? No need!

Edit..OK..Shes not British so forget above!

ah--bugger it--looks like an urgent trip to london coming up.

her other issue is--she is annulled and divorced from her first husband...but still uses her married surname. i bet that will complicate things.

well--according to that link mattecube put up--she might not get on the plane back here without 6 months on the passport

Annulled and divorced??
An annulment means that the "marriage" was null and void from word GO!!

Sorry..Wrong end of stick..
Wrongly assumed she was dual.

she filed for divorce from her filipino husband in the UK--in 2012 while she was here in the UK on a student visa.

we then found it it wasnt recognised in the phils--so she filed for annulment when she was back home in 2014. annulment can be obtained for a number of different reasons. in her case it was mental incapacity.

I must admit I read it differently!

What did you make of it ?

Your wife is not an alien to the Philippines nor does she need a visa to remain in the Philippines.
The UK does not subscribe to the 6 month rule, your wife has a current passport and UK Resident Permit, why would she not be entitled to return?

the more i trawl through interweb sites the more confusing it gets. i cant find a definite answer, but i agree with you.

but--we cant take the chance some jobsworth at manila airport could deny her access to the plane if her passport has less than 6 months left on it. in fact--about 3 months from the 10th of july--her probable return date.

in any case--she would need to renew it when she gets back--so we may as well do it now and get it done with. that will keep her happy and let me return to a peaceful condition.

incidentally--we can get from portsmouth to london by coach for £36 return--thats for BOTH of us--as against £86 by train.

i better take some sammiches.

will they even allow me in there ?
or should i spend the day in some seedy strip club ?

I went in there quite a few times in the past..
It was always very much like entering a Filipino wet fish market with fish wives and all.

Yes as early as possible, go in take a ticket (This is your place in the que) fill the forms put then sit and wait.
Wifey number gets called she goes to the counter does the necessary then goes upstairs to pay. You just sit there enjoying yourself!
Trafalgar Square 5 minute walk away.
You will enjoy the visit not!

Not been able to login since my original question, a week ago. Just to say thank you everyone for responding

well--thats yeterday out the way; done and dusted. embassy staff person said new passport should take 6 weeks. heres hoping. better safe than sorry about not having 6 months left on her present passport when she goes back home.

my email to the embassy asking for clarification got a response--simply referring me to this:

i went boss-eyed reading through that--and found nothing about my question.
